A ratings hit for eight seasons on CBS, the action-mystery series Magnum, P.I. makes its DVD boxed set debut in an impressive five-disc package that offers not only the entire first season, but some rarely seen episodes. Positioned in the old Hawaii Five-O time slot (Thursdays at 9) in December of 1980, Magnum quickly became a hit, thanks to the combination of smart and witty scripting, gorgeous locations, and the considerable charm of lead Tom Selleck as former Naval Intelligence officer Thomas Magnum, who gives up his position to become a private investigator on Oahu with the help of fellow Vietnam vets T.C. (Roger E. Mosley) and Rick (Larry Manetti). Magnum also provided security for the lavish estate of wealthy (and never-seen) mystery writer Robin Masters, which gave him access to the author's expensive vehicles (including a prized Ferrari), much to the disapproval of Masters's manservant Higgins (Jonathan Hillerman).
A rare series that skillfully blended action, humor, drama, and suspense, Magnum, P.I.'s first season gets the boxed set treatment its fans have been hoping for, with all 18 first-season episodes (including the two-part pilot, 'Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii') included on four discs. The fifth disc contains four rarely shown bonus episodes, including season 3's 'Ki'ls Don't Lie,' which featured a crossover plot with Simon and Simon, as well as its conclusion ('Emeralds Are Not a Girl's Best Friend'), which kicked off S&S's second season; the latter episode has never been aired as part of Magnum's syndicated package, which is another reason for fans to pick up and enjoy this long-awaited set. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - Oh. My. Gawd!
The first season of Magnum has so many treasures, even how on my television how old and grainy the picture looks during early eps/openings, like when the plane is flying in in the first episode. Brings back alot of memories really.
My favorite parts of the eps (besides the pairs of "Stews" that seem to be in alot of the early eps staying at the estate), is the relationship between Higgins and Magnum. There's in early eps how a thug refers to Higgins as "Braduh" to which Higgins' reply ... Read More
Rating: - Funny as ever and better without commercials!
This is a great show and worth having the first year to explain how all the characters came together.
Rating: - Magnum PI Review
This was just what my husband wanted to Father's Day and it made the perfect gift.
Rating:  - Excellent entertainment - spotty transfer
This is one of my two all-time favorite TV series. Despite some changes in costume and hair style, the series has stood the test of time surprisingly well. The ensemble cast each bring a well-developed character to the screen from episode 1. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the episodes in order and fully intend to buy the rest of the seasons. I would have given this 4 1/2 stars if possible. The only ding is that the transfer quality was poor in places. This series definitely merits remastering. ... Read More
Rating: - As good as I expected
Nothing else to say except if you are a fan of the show, you will enjoy. Double sided discs are cheap.
